Angie's little madness is all grown up. The
eldest Jolie-Pitt is not a stranger in the
spotlight since coming home to his mom in
2001, famously donning a Mohawk which later
on became his signature hairstyle. Born in
Cambodia, Maddox (Madd or Madness to his mom
or Maddie to his dad) has been traveling the
world since he was a baby always
accompanying his mom on her trips with the
UN.
He is also known as the boy who made
Angelina Jolie "a woman" (in her own words)
stirring the mother in Angie and changing
her life for the better. As she puts it,
"My son has
completely changed my life. He's brought me
peace and chaos, happiness and joy."
He loves to travel and very fond
of airplanes and helicopters, prompting
Angelina to become a pilot. His love for
motorcycles clearly comes from both parents
but Angie credits Brad for teaching Madd
jumps and other tricks on the bike. Father
and son also watched the 2008 MotoGP Italian
Motorcycling Grand Prix on Mugello Circuit
in Italy. Madd is also interested in wars
and fighting, first intrigued by warriors
and liking his dad's role as Achilles in
Troy.
He's mad over videogames as well, his mom
citing Madden NFL Football as a favorite and
other war games. Madd is quite a sports fan,
spotted before while playing soccer, a big
Liverpool fan and had watched a Yankees game
live with his dad. At the recent Super Bowl,
Madd joined his parents in Miami to cheer on
their New Orleans Saints team onto the
championship. Madd was once described by
Angie as a "smart, little man" and is
well-versed in French language, having been
educated in French schools. Music is also a
favorite for this cool kid who loves Green
Day and this year attended a concert of them
as a birthday present. With him of course is
his dad and little brother Pax.
A foundation (Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation
or
MJP)
and a school (Maddox Chivan Children's
Center) was named after him, both of which
are located in Cambodia, a country where his
mom is an honorary citizen and where his dad
visited for the first time in 2006 with the
family. Said Brad,
"It was incredibly moving to visit my son's
country."
Madd is also a "professional big brother" to
siblings Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox
and Vivienne. - JPO |
